Is it just me or would Sherlock Holmes be amazing at seeing dream signs and becoming lucid? he's so perceptive and stuff I just thought that if he was a real person he'd instantaneously realise he was in a dream whenever he entered one!

I've said this before and I'll say it again: If you want to increase your chances of becoming lucid in your dreams be a dream detective.

Before the term "lucid dream" had even been coined, there was a man who was familiarising himself with his dreams so meticulously that he found himself becoming consciously aware of dreaming while it was happening. He was real and renowned in history. Some of his oneironautic techniques are employed by sleep scientists and lucid dream researchers today. Think 19th century. Can you guess his name?
